TEDxHouston - Dr. Rebecca Richards-Kortum & Dr. Maria Oden
Dr. Rebecca Richards-Kortum is the Stanley C. Moore Professor of Bioengineering at Rice University. She is the Founder and Director of Rice 360°:Institute for Global Health Technologies, whose mission is to work in partnership with communities throughout the world to design and implement low-cost, high-performance technologies that prevent disease, improve health, and reduce poverty. Since 2006, 333 students in Rice 360°'s Beyond Traditional Borders initiative (BTB) have designed 40 new technologies and educational programs. These designs have been implemented in 14 countries around the world, benefiting 19,000 people. She is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a Fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society and was recently inducted into the National Academy of Engineering.
Dr. Maria Oden is a Professor in the Practice of Bioengineering Education in the Department of Bioengineering at Rice University. She has over 15 years of combined academic, research, clinical experience in biomedical engineering with an emphasis in orthopaedic bioemechanics and computational modeling. Maria is also the director of Rice's Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen where she orchestrates engineering education initiatives that provide students from multiple departments in the George R. Brown School of Engineering, Wiess School of Natural Sciences, and the School of Humanities with unique hands-on design experience and opportunities to test and carry ideas to their intended point of application. Oden has inspired hundreds of students to work in design teams for completing in real world engineering design challenges.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.
TEDxHouston - 博士麗貝卡理查茲 - Kortum及博士瑪麗亞奧登
理查茲博士麗貝卡 - Kortum赤柱三是穆爾教授萊斯大學生物工程系。她是創辦人及董事水稻360 °：全球衛生技術研究所，其任務是要與社區建立夥伴關係在世界各地設計和實施低成本，高性能的技術，預防疾病，增進健康，並減少貧困。自2006年以來，水稻333學生 360 °的超越傳統國界的倡議（背靠背）設計了40項新技術和教育方案。這些設計已實施 14個國家在世界各地，惠及19000人。她是一位資深的美國協會的科學進步，一個傢伙的生物醫學工程學會，最近入選國家工程院院士。
瑪麗亞博士奧登是一個在實踐中教授生物工程教育的生物工程系在萊斯大學。她有超過 15年的聯合學術，科研，臨床經驗在生物醫學工程，重點在骨科bioemechanics和計算模型。瑪麗亞也是導演賴斯的Oshman工程設計廚房，她編排的工程教育活動，提供學生從多個部門在喬治布朗學院的工程，威斯學院自然科學，人文學院和獨特實用的設計經驗和機會，以測試他們的想法和打算進行點中的應用。奧登激發了數百名學生在設計團隊的工作在現實世界中完成工程設計挑戰。
關於 TEDx的中，x =獨立組織的活動
在精神理念值得推廣，TEDx是一種方案的地方，自我組織的活動，使人們共同分享的TED的體驗。在TEDx活動，TEDTalks視頻及現場演講結合，引發深入的探討和連接在一個小組。這些地方，自我組織的活動都是品牌TEDx的，其中x =獨立組織的TED事件。 TED會議提供一般指導意見 TEDx的方案，但個別 TEDx活動是自發組織的。 （根據一定的規則和條例。）
